Planning is underway for the return of the Dorchester Day parade on June 5 after pandemic-driven restrictions twice shut down a celebration that dates back to 1904.
Members of the Tony Barrie Band pass by a beauty supply store on Dorchester Avenue during the Dorchester Day Parade, June 4, 2017. after pandemic-driven restrictions twice shut down a celebration that dates back to 1904.
“It’s going to make us feel back to normal,” said John Schneiderman, a Vietnam War veteran who served as the Chief Grand Marshal of the parade in 2019, “and what we need is to feel normal again.” “It’s nice to be able to celebrate our community with all of our friends and neighbors,” she added. “I think a lot of people miss that kind of thing.”
“I think it’s just going to be awesome to see him in the car going by with the Chief Grand Marshall hat on,” Schneiderman said. “You couldn’t fit a better person to become the Chief Grand Marshall.” Gretchen Haase has held the ceremonial title of mayor of Dorchester since 2019. Due to the parade cancellations, there has not been an opportunity to designate a new mayor. So with the first Sunday of June just around the corner, she’s helping fundraise ahead of the parade kickoff.
